[PATCH 4.17 304/324] x86/mm/init: Pass unconverted symbol addresses to free_init_pages()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Aug 23 2018 - 05:09:09 EST


4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9f515cdb411ef34f1aaf4c40bb0c932cf6db5de1 upstream.

The x86 code has several places where it frees parts of kernel image:

1. Unused SMP alternative
2. __init code
3. The hole between text and rodata
4. The hole between rodata and data

We call free_init_pages() to do this. Strangely, we convert the symbol
addresses to kernel direct map addresses in some cases (#3, #4) but not
others (#1, #2).

The virt_to_page() and the other code in free_reserved_area() now works
fine for for symbol addresses on x86, so don't bother converting the
addresses to direct map addresses before freeing them.
